There will be 25 1st floor studios with shared wash-up facilities, kitchenette, toilets and a large communal area at the front of the building overlooking the Thames, scheduled release date is the end of November with the building finally fully re-clad by December.

SFSA member Abigail Dace will be exhibiting new works as part of Ethereal Material, a group exhibition that explores how the artists respond to material characterized by unusual delicacy and high refinement – The Gallery at Willesden Green.

Abigail Dace uses traditional craft techniques to create 3D sculptures. Her works map tensions in space, creating an inner shape reliant on the outer form but independent from it. They illustrate the fragility of existence and the need to individually interpret our boundaries to form who we are. If a boundary is removed the inner form must reassess its own position and shape.
